Chapter 101
Victor nodded in response. “That’s for sure. As long as he doesn’t have any influence or power, there’s absolutely nothing for us to fear!”
Jada concurred. “Yeah. I heard that he was just released from prison a couple of days ago for smashing a beer bottle over Easton’s head. Easton eventually made use of connections to have him sent to prison!”
“Hehe,” Victor chuckled after hearing what Jada said. “If he could be sent to prison, then it’s clear that he doesn’t have any connections at all. Only the weak suffer the brunt of the law, so we can now be sure that Severin is just an ordinary person!”
He had been worried that Severin might turn out to be a powerful person simply because the latter was staying in the villa. Once he found out the exact situation surrounding Severin, however, he realized that there was absolutely nothing to fear, judging from how easily the Loughs were able to deal with him.
However, Jada thought of something and could not help but remind Victor, “Dad, there is one thing I need to point out though. Severin’s wife is the Shanahans‘ daughter, Diane. Five years ago, she gave birth to a child out of wedlock and was kicked out of her home as a result. I’m worried that we might offend the Shanahans if we’re too harsh on Severin.”
“But…” When Prunella heard that, her heart skipped a beat and she feared that it would hinder her chances of avenging her son.
Victor kept quiet for a moment before giving his take on the situation. “We probably don’t need to worry much, if at all. Diane was kicked out by her family and she hasn’t returned home for more than five years. This means that the Shanahans have long disowned her. We don’t need to be afraid of offending
the Shanahans. Secondly, our family has progressed very well in the past two years, and we even got in touch with a manager in charge of the Liberty City project. He promised to reserve a quota for us, and this will soon propel us to becoming a second–tier family. On the other hand, the Shanahans have regressed, and there is nothing for us to fear!”
He paused briefly before adding, “Besides, I heard that Edward Horsfield still has a crush on Diane, and even boasted that he’s willing to give her family a million and a half as long as she agrees to marry him. Anyone care to guess what’ll happen if Severin became a cripple?”
Jada’s eyes lit up instantly when she heard that. “If that happens, the Shanahans might even be grateful to us rather than blame us! And Edward will also be grateful to us for helping him achieve his goal. When the time comes, we can gain favor with the Horsfields too!”
“Bingo! Hahaha!” Victor laughed out loud. “By my careful analysis, we need to make Severin disabled because of the immense benefits it has for everyone. Diane will become a nobody if that happens, and once she marries Edward, you can be sure that he’ll be pleased with what we did!”
“All right, Victor! What are we waiting for then? Let’s get to it now!” Prunella said excitedly.
“By the way, Dad, Severin is very good at fighting. He wouldn’t have been able to face our restaurant’s hired thugs by himself if he wasn’t that skilled a fighter. Our family’s bodyguards are very powerful, but I still think it’s better to bring more people there. Make sure to bring more of
our stronger fighters there too!” Jada urged Victor after some thought. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“All right. Let’s head there after choosing some of the better guys!” Victor said as he strode out.
A sudden idea then occurred to Jada and she called Easton.
“Why are you calling me?” Easton was very upset. He tried to be intimate with Lucy several times. the previous night but failed to get up, so he decided to go out and get drunk after failing to figure out what his problem was.
Jada then said, “Hehe, I have good news for you. Severin will be crippled soon! My father is choosing a few of our best bodyguards. My aunt just came here today to beg us for help and
asked my
father to bring his men to beat Severin up and make him sterile.”
“Really? You couldn’t have made my day any better! I’m going to come over and see it happen for myself! I think Lucy is just as excited to see it. it’s gonna be so f*cking lit!” Easton was ecstatic and rushed out of the bar right away. After ending the call with Jada, he phoned Lucy who was shopping nearby.
Jada had a smug expression on her face as she grinned. “Oh, Severin. Weren’t you all smug last night? Well, you’ll soon find out that I’m no pushover, and you’ll get what’s coming to you.for slapping me!” She then walked out quickly.
